• For Media Checking Policy, select one of three options:
• No Restrictions - Allow any media to be moved anywhere
• Enforce Restrictions - If the media type is known, the
barcode contains a media identifier that will enforce
restrictions. For example, LTO-6 supports reading LTO-6,
LTO-5 and LTO-4 media and writing to LTO-6 and LTO-5
drives. This setting is the default setting.
• Full Restrictions - The media type identified must be known
before we can import or move a media to a drive.
• From the Barcode reporting area, select an option from the
Return Media Identifier drop-down list. Options include
Suffix, Pass Through, Prefix, or Disabled. Depending on which
setting you choose, you can control the use of the media type
identifier in the volume serial number that is returned to the
host.
Caution: After a media volume serial number has been
reported to a host, changing the Return Media
Identifier setting could cause the host to not
recognize media within the library.

9 Configure the Drive Cleaning policy, by selecting either Enable or
Disable. This setting is enabled by default.
Enabling drive cleaning allows the library to initiate drive cleaning
each time a drive requests a cleaning operation. For drive cleaning
to function, you must first configure drive cleaning for the library.
For more information about configuring drive cleaning, refer
Configuring Drive Cleaning
Note: Drive cleaning should be enabled for partitions only if the
host application does not support the coordination of drive
cleaning. If drive cleaning functionality is enabled on the
host application, do
for any partitions in the library.
